My tools ,
on: July 07, 2010, 08:42:54 PM
Over a period of about 3 years ive got more and more watch tools, i started off with a set and then added better tools as i needed them, my love for fiddly has grown over the last year as ive repaired and built a few watches, well ive also ended up with a huge amount of parts, straps ,cases,movements,movement parts, crystals, it goes on and on plus a few watches in im sorting for people, who knows how far this will go but one thing i know is i enjoy it a lot, here is a few pics of what was out tonight as i finished a watch and decided to sort out my tools as they was a mess,  :D im sure this collection of parts and tools will grow,ive got to go this week and look at some tools and 1000's of parts a friend of mines neighbor  :D anyway sorry just wanted to share my love,  :tu:

This takes me back to my days in Watch & Jewelry Repair for HBC....

Those were fun days.  We used to keep a sledge hammer and hacksaw in plain sight while working on $5,000 watches!   :ahhh

Cool.  Can  you suggest any specific tool for basic watch work?  Battery changes, bracelet adjustments etc?

I'd like to get some and do some of this myself...
